Logan Owen and Kyle Trudeau have joined Floyd’s of Leadville Racing to amp up the team’s six-rider roster as a “PrivaTeam” programme for 2023. Returning as the leader of the US-based squad is 61-year-old David ‘Tinker’ Juarez, one of the country’s best-ever BMX and MTB riders.

The Floyd’s of Leadville Racing team completed their first season in 2022 with riders competing across a diverse schedule of off-road events. Juarez earned a silver medal at the 2022 UCI Masters Mountain Bike World Championships in Argentina in cross-country, in which he has won three masters world titles.
